New superyacht designed to look like a floating island

Yacht Island Design's Tropical Island Paradise
A new superyacht has been designed by Yacht Island Design which comes in the form of a floating island. The 90m yacht has been designed from inspiration from the islands in the Caribbean, Indian Ocean and Polynesia. Studio director Rob McPherson explained that the yacht was designed to be something very different from the current designs.

This is not the first unusual design from Yacht Island Design, their last eye catching design called Streets of Monaco, and it is unlikely to be the last. However, these concept pieces are unlikely to be manufactured again which makes them a little bit like fashion designers who prepare dazzling and sometimes outlandish couture for a show. This latest design features a volcano on the main deck and would be able to accommodate the owner and 8 guests in luxurious comfort with each suite having its own balcony. The owner’s accommodations are set within the volcano and includes its own private balcony and spa. Other features of this remarkable vessel include floating beach islands which when deployed become a sea level platform allowing guest to enjoy water sports or just relax on.

As with all superyachts, this one is also fitted with a cinema, gym, fully equipped spa and also has a library and a games room. On the outside decks there are a number of cabanas for guests to relax in and around. Mr McPherson says “We had two reasons, the first being that it’s good fun, and secondly the current market is pretty saturated with designs that look fairly similar. Our mission is to work on incredibly fun designs and carve a niche for ourselves within the market, a place where other designers fear to tread.”
